It
defines the worst forms of child labour, presents key strategies for
their elimination, outlines recommended actions for governments,
employers’, workers’ and other civil society organizations and addresses
monitoring and evaluation as an essential feature of successful action
plans.

"The guide is both a training tool and a stepping-stone
towards the drafting or revision of a National Action Plan (NAP) against
the worst forms of child labour. It will bring new momentum to national
efforts to reach this challenging goal,” said Constance Thomas,
Director of the ILO’s International Programme on the Elimination of
Child Labour (IPEC).

Complementing the training guide is a Facilitators’ Guide
that can assist those who wish to facilitate or support training
workshops and national consultations. Spanish and French versions of the
Training Guide will be released later in 2013.
